This rise in tempera-ture and pulse was due to a limited pneumothorax, but the extradisturbance -was an added factor in raising the pulse during thelatter half of December. It was very interesting to note thatwith the increase in inflammation in the lung shown in the firsthalf of chart B there was not a corresponding increase in pulserapidity. The fact that a spontaneous pneumothorax followedthis increased inflammation on the 12th of the month suggeststhat the cause of the increased temperature was to be found inthe activity of the tuberculous process in the lung; consequently, CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TEMPERATURE AND PULSE 207.
